Mattingly said Monday that League was the closer "for now," but did not get the right-hander up in the bullpen at any point Tuesday night.

Jansen, who began the season setting up League, said his mindset remains the same.

"Whenever the phone rings, I just go out and pitch," Jansen said. "That's what I do. I just try to pick my teammates up and help the team win. That's all I'm thinking about."

With the Dodgers leading, 2-0, in the top of the ninth with two out and a runner on first, Mattingly thought Jansen was the best option to preserve the win for Clayton Kershaw.

"I just felt like I had to go with the guy who's throwing the ball best; as much as anything he's been throwing the ball better than anybody out there," Mattingly said. "I've got to go with my best guy at that point. I felt like Kenley was the best chance of getting that guy out."

Jansen struck out Tyler Moore to earn his second save in as many opportunities. The hard-throwing right-hander has 28 strikeouts in 20 innings, with 17 scoreless outings in relief.

"I just trust my stuff," Jansen said. "I'm just focused. I think my focus is kind of better now compared to what it used to be."

League, meanwhile, is 0-2 with a 6.28 ERA in 14 appearances. He's converted eight of nine save chances, but has allowed runs in eight of his past 11 outings, including three straight.
